Chapter 3
Love for a fight.
' these are the practice courts' Neal told Kel, glumly. So far, Lady Keladry had not seemed interested in anything.
Kel's heart soared. Finally, the part she had bben waiting for, the chance for a fight.
She cleared her throat delicately. All the boys' heads turned toward her.
' I would like to fight one of you.' She announced in her clear musical voice. Neal raised an eyebrow. Cleon nudged him. Roald glanced at Yuki.
Yuki was staring at her best friend. She had just challenged any of the squires to combat. Kel, a Yamani lady.
Owen of Jesslaw, the youngest of the group, steeped forward.
' I'll take a whack at it Lady Keladry.'
Kel smiled at the short squire in gratitude.
' please, squire Owen, call me Kel'
Kel winked at Yuki and asked Owen if he would prefer to fight with a long weapon, or Shang style. He replied long weapon, he was never much use at Shang combat.
They slid practice pads on, and Owen sought a practice spear, while Kel sent Yuki to fetch her practice glaive, another Yamani lady weapon, from their new quarters.
While they waited, Kel flirted with the red headed youth, Cleon of Kennan. He seemed nicer than this Nealan, to whom she was betrothed.
Neal was handsome enough, with his green eyes and brown hair swept back from a widow's peak )in the words of a famous writer we all know and luv!), but he didn't seem to believe she would be interested in anything to do with combat.
She'd registered the look of sheer amazement on his face when she'd put forth her request for a match.
This Cleon though, he took her for a person, not a fragile doll who would break if you held her too hard. He talked to her as he would other squires.
They were talking about holding off border clans when Yuki returned, holding Kel's wooden practice glaive, with a blunt curved blade for practicing.
Meanwhile, Neal had been watching his friend, Cleon talk to his future wife. Snatches of their conversation drifted over to him every so often.
Where his ears deceiving him? (um…) where they talking about the war with the Scanrans? Kel was a lady though, and she'd seemed so un interested. Had he made a horrible mistake.
He was debating whether to go over and try to join the conversation when Yuki returned, carrying what was obviously Kel's long weapon. A I Glaive I had she called it?
It was a long shaft of wood, topped by a long curved blade, blunted for practicing.
As Kel glanced over, he caught her eye.
She must have seen the disbelief in his eyes because she broke the stare, with a slight shadow of hurt passing over her face, before disappearing behind that bland mask she wore, to hide her emotions. (ok, b4 any 1 sez anything, I mean her Yamani face, not a actual mask).
Yuki hurried over to Roald, and they shared a grin. What did everyone else seem to automatically figure about Kel that he, Neal, didn't?
So she was obviously more than she seemed, but he was sure there was something still kept from him.
But, as to what it was, he was clueless.
Cleon smiled again at Kel, she returned it with a heart melting one that immediately sent a wave of envy crashing in Neal's stomach.
He should be backing off to watch her fight after flirting with her. What did Cleon think he was doing?
'Begin' Roald said calmly, acting as referee (soz, that woz actually in another persons fic, sorry, sorry, sorry, but its such a good line. Am I 4given?)
all thoughts of Cleon flirting with the girl who he was betrothed to, and rather fancied, were driven out of his mind by the sight of Kel, elegant and beautiful as a crystal, catching the light, fighting.
